Error when opening sdl.ppx files in Studio 2022 "Error processing command line arguments: An error occurred extracting the package. Unable to read beyond the end of the stream."

Hello,

I am having trouble opening sdl.ppx files in Trados Studio 2022 (please see below for full error message).

I have already tried the following:

1. update to the latest version
2. Cannot extract packages from one customer in Studio 2021
3. Error when opening project packages 

4. Uninstalled and reinstalled Studio 2022.

Any ideas in how to resolve this?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Tina
